#Colorful open-air ferry stop.

We were cycling in Friesland, following the bicycle path crossing polders and green fields. The path stopped right here in front of the canal, which has to be crossed with this pontje (ferry for walkers and bikers) and its lovely captain. This was a good excuse to have a break and shows how good the bicycle path system is in the Netherlands.

8.6/10 Excellent! (22 reviews)
Location is fantastic - but you get the keys and breakfast at a different location. Building is really old but very authentic - though a bit cold in the room. Lovely breakfast though and staff were very nice.

Just ok
Smelled like somone was smoking inside just before we got there. Blankets had obvious stains on them. Double bed was 2 nylon covered mattresses pushed together. Made for a very uncomfortable night.
